Luo, H.B., Wang, S. and Guedes Soares, C., (2011), “Numerical prediction of slamming loads on rigid wedge for water entry problem by Explicit Finite Element method”, Advances in Marine Structures, C. Guedes Soares and W. Fricke, (Eds.), Taylor & Francis Group, London, UK, pp. 41-48

Explicit Finite Element Method code is applied to study the impact loads on one two-dimensional rigid wedge for water entry problems. One rigid wedge with deadrise angle 30 degree impacting the calm water is modeled. Numerical results validate experimental slamming force, pressure distribution results published in time domain very well. Convergence study for parameters, such as mesh density, penalty factor, etc. is carried out. And computational efficiency and accuracy is discussed.
